## Review summary

Most reviews focus on price and paywall, with many users frustrated by paying to use the app. Compatibility problems with newer Android versions and devices are common, causing features to lag or fail. Essential remote controls are missing or limited, and there are frequent bugs and lag after updates. A smaller group expresses positive sentiment when it works, but reliability and value are often questioned.

### Pros

- Provides remote control functionality for Infomir devices.
- Some users report the updated version works better and is usable.
- A subset of reviews express positive sentiment like I like it, Good, and Excellent when functioning properly.

### Cons

- App is not free and charging (subscription or upgrade) is a major complaint; pricing model is unclear to users.
- Compatibility issues with newer Android versions and devices (Pixel 8, Samsung A53) and not working on latest OSs.
- Missing or limited essential remote controls (no skip/next, few buttons, need to scroll) and some keyboard/input issues.
- Bugs, lag, and instability after updates (back button issues, Fwd/Rev not working, search may fail).
- Outdated UI/poor design and confusing interface that users perceive as ancient or unattractive.
